Harvest Time BBQ Ribs

4 pounds of Spare ribs (I used pork)
1 (16 oz) jar of apple butter
1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
1 onion, chunked
salt & pepper
Sprinkle the ribs with salt & pepper. Place the ribs on a broiler pan for 30 minutes to brown well and then drain excess fat. Slice the ribs into serving portions. Put the chunks of onion on the bottom of your crock pot, ribs on top and then spread the apple butter on the ribs and pour in some of your BBQ sauce. Heat on low for about 8 hours. YUMMY!
*can use 1/2 the amount of apple butter and bbq sauce.



Grilled Slow Cooker Ribs

3 1/2 pounds pork loin back ribs

1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons liquid smoke
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 medium onion, sliced
1/2 cup cola
1 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Spray inside of 4 to 5 quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
Remove inner skin from ribs. Cut ribs into 4-inch pieces. Mix brown
sugar, pepper, liquid smoke, garlic and salt; rub mixture into ribs.
Layer ribs and onion in slow cooker. Pour cola over ribs.
Cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours or until tender. Remove ribs
from slow cooker. Drain and discard liquid.
Heat coals or gas grill. Place ribs on grill. Brush with barbecue
sauce. Cover and grill 4 to 6 inches from medium heat for 15 minutes.

Serves 6

They are also great on an indoor grill.
They would probably be really good under the broiler as well. However
you do it, baste and turn a few times
